Zerodha warned users to avoid fake WhatsApp and Telegram groups impersonating Zerodha or its founder Nithin Kamath, which lure victims with financial advice and exclusive offers, urging users to follow verified channels and report suspicious activities.
Zerodha shared a warning post on September 19, 2024, urging users to beware of fake WhatsApp and Telegram groups posing as Zerodha or its founder, Nithin Kamath. The post highlighted that these scam groups often lure people with financial advice, exclusive webinars, and stock tips, using names like "Zerodha Trading Club" to appear legitimate.
